WHAT DOES REDBUG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

redbug

Pyrrhocoridae

Pyrrhocoridae is a family of insects with more than 300 species world-wide. any are red coloured and are known as red bugs and some species are called cotton stainers because their feeding activities leave an indelible brownish-yellow stain on cotton crops. A common species in parts of Europe is the firebug, and its genus name Pyrrhocoris and the family name are derived from the Greek roots for fire "pyrrho-" and bug "coris". Members of this family can be quickly separated from the Lygaeidae by the lack of ocelli. The membrane of the forewing has one or two cells from which about 7-8 branching veins emerge that may have branches that fuse together while the main veins reach the margins of the wing. They have three tarsal segments. They can be confused with some members of the family Largidae which also share some of these characters and belong to the same superfamily. Largidae tend to have the edge of the pronotum rounded but the taxonomic feature for separating them is the found only in females. Female largids have the sixth visible abdominal segment appearing to be split in the middle whereas female pyrrhocorids have this undivided.
